"Buzz..." Another invisible shockwave rippled out from the sun in an instant, spreading throughout the entire world.
The golden sun, which had begun to dim, shone brightly again. A golden ray filled with holiness, greatness, and an incomprehensible aura of life gathered at the high-hanging sun in the sky. Then, it gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye into a series of illusory golden steps of light and shadow, which then spread out and extended all the way into the cave that had been illuminated by the holy light.
Not many people witnessed this strange phenomenon, because the previous light incident had killed or aged many people in the Southern Continent. Less than half of the population were lucky enough to escape the sun's exposure and suffered less damage, but they all hid in their rooms. Only those powerful families with sunshade pavilions or castles could observe the outside world through their open windows and thus see the current strange phenomenon.
As the steps appeared, a holy aura permeated the entire Southern Continent. However, this holy aura did not bring the sense of light and divine blessing that the Church had always preached. Instead, it brought a great Pressure that was incomprehensible, indescribable, unfathomable, and unbearable.
All things fell silent, the dark clouds dispersed, and the holy aura that filled the air could completely eliminate Third-Generation Vampire that were hiding. No matter how far away, as long as there was someone watching, even Second-Generation Vampire would be completely dissolved.
As the golden steps stretched outwards, a strange sound finally arose within the cave Existence Level had erupted.
The white bone cross that had been knocked down by the Holy Knight was once again erected on the jade base. The remains of more than five hundred Holy Knight perished along with Kuba, and now only their tough flesh and blood support their bodies, still in their previous charging posture. This created a magnificent scene of an ancient battlefield in the cave.
The divine body hanging on the cross has been changed.
From the pale, delicate, and perfectly slender Kuba, he transformed into the decaying, thin, unclean, and ugly Norton!
A pure white bone nail was inserted into Norton's chest, binding him to a pure white bone cross.
Although Norton's decaying body was unclean and filthy, with skin flakes constantly falling from it, its slender and perfect physique and gradual ascension to Existence Level still gave it a strange and divine aura, making it fully qualified to be called 'God' and truly worthy of the decoration of the cross made from God's bones.
Norton is actually quite familiar with his current situation, after all, this isn't the first time he's been hung on a cross.
If firewood were placed under that jade base now, it would truly evoke a sense of reminiscing about one's youthful days.
I wonder if Norton himself felt the same way.
"Whoosh..."
Kuba's towering body is gradually turning to ashes and scattering in the wind; his eternal life will eventually come to an end.
His eyes, now dark again, looked at Norton, whom he had nailed to the cross before him. His face showed no resentment towards death, only an unquenchable worry about Norton.
However, he had already done his best. The unique nature of Norton's soul made it difficult for him to resist. Being able to seal it away, thus giving all living beings in the Southern Continent and even the Garden of Eden the power to choose, was already a success enough.
"If someone else pulls out the bone screws this time, you won't have me as a buffer..."
Kuba sighed deeply, his body turning to ashes and vanishing completely.
His words of regret faded in the wind, but the meaning behind them was surprisingly noble.
Unexpectedly, in this long-standing conflict in the Southern Continent, it was actually Kuba, who was most slandered by the Church's scriptures, who was the one who cared most for all living beings.
Its realm and thought have far surpassed all living beings in this Garden of Eden...
In comparison, Norton seems rather rotten to the core.
This world has Heaven and Hell, and Hajinuo is just waiting to go to Hell!
First Stage steps First Stage from the sky, piercing through the cave rocks and the jade base, finally landing at the spot where Kuba's body had dissipated.
Under the reflection of this golden base, the vanished Kuba was once again reflected as a golden phantom!
The golden phantom seemed to have anticipated this, and as it looked up at the golden staircase leading straight to the heavens, a rare bitter smile appeared on its face.
However, it no longer has a physical body and can no longer make a sound.
His golden phantom, as if resigned to its fate, lifted its foot and stepped onto the stairs.
As he walked step by step, his phantom seemed to shrink in size, rapidly advancing along the golden staircase. As his body rapidly grew taller, his golden phantom dimmed more and more as he rose higher, and the golden staircase disappeared inch by inch.
Finally, Kuba's illusory figure reached the end of the golden staircase. He hadn't looked back the whole way, and now the illusory figure, which had faded to the point of being indistinct, slowly turned around at the last moment before disappearing. His final gaze was still fixed on the cave that sealed Norton.
"Whoosh..." A gentle breeze, accompanied by clouds and mist, once again covered the sky.
The golden phantom, along with the golden staircase, finally vanished completely into the sky.
Good guy Kuba defeated the evil devil Norton and went on a picnic in Heaven...
Norton Chronology, Norton 121.
The long-turbulent Southern Continent is facing a judgment that feels like the end of the world.
For some unknown reason, the orange-red sun in the sky cast a pure white beam of light directly at the Holy See. This beam of light was seen by countless people in the Southern Continent, and it sparked a huge uproar and public opinion.
Some believe this is a God intervention, that the Holy Lord Church the verge of collapse, and that God specifically appeared to save the Holy Lord Church.
This theory has gained considerable support, not only because the beam of light was directed towards the Holy See, but also because the Holy See, which had been harassed by the Vampire alliance and the Boya Empire for over twenty years, with the Holy Lord Church even being captured and facing destruction, miraculously revived after this incident. Furthermore, almost Vampire in the entire Southern Continent were completely burned away under this holy light. This clearly shows that the holy beam of light was helping the Holy Lord Church to eliminate the Vampire.
Some believe this was God's punishment, because Yalian III, a foreign royal, usurped the papacy, his position was illegitimate, and he was disloyal to God, thus incurring God's wrath. As a result, divine light descended to punish Yalian III and all those in the world who were indifferent to this matter.
They claimed this was the end of the world, and that humanity would face a great catastrophe!
Some even connect this to the subsequent roar that echoed across half of the Southern Continent, believing it to be God sending down a seal to help the man named Kuba seal the demon.
However, few people believe this reason.
Because the name Kuba is so familiar—isn't that the Vampire Progenitor described in the Church? For God to bestow holiness upon others instead of sealing away this Betrayal Vampire Progenitor God, isn't that pure nonsense?
Besides these three widely circulated guesses, there are also various other rumors and unconventional speculations.
In short, all speculation revolves around the idea of God intervention.
After all, the pure white beam of light couldn't be faked, nor could the sun's transformation from orange to golden.
The golden sunlight that shines on a person, capable of quickly leading them to old age and causing real harm, is undeniable!
According to incomplete statistics, in the short span of time that the golden sunlight appeared and disappeared, nearly 100,000 people in the Southern Continent came to an end, and countless others aged rapidly. Because the number was too large, it was difficult to count them in the end.
In that short period of time, more than 50% of the Vampire in the Blood Court and the Boya Empire disappeared. The Boya Empire only had 400,000 to 500,000 Vampire in total, so the death of half of them might not seem very significant.
But the Blood Court, as the stronghold of Vampire, was far too obvious.
The streets were instantly cleared out; the terrifying scene reportedly drove many Vampire mad with fright.
